THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER

Mark Twain

Nick Bullard

Author:

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910), known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was lauded as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced," and William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature". His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), the latter often called "The Great American Novel".

Chapter 1

Tom and his friends

'Oh, Aunt Polly! Quick — look behind you!'

So Aunt Polly looked, and Tom was out of the house in a second.

//这种骗人的小把戏跟谁学的来

He's going to work tomorrow!'

//即使是小学, 就开始安排一些工作

//这其实是把小学生作为独立的个体对待, 不看得太幼稚

There were hours of work in front of him and he was the unhappiest boy in the village.

//村里最不开心的孩子: 周日在粉刷栅栏

He saw his friend Joe Harper in the street, but he didn't look at him.

//"视而不见"的把戏从小就会

//早熟的Tom 看透了同伴的心思

'I am sorry, Tom.'

//hhhhh, Joe Harper 嘲讽一番

Tom put down his brush. 'You call this work?' he said.

'Perhaps it is and perhaps it isn't. But I like it,' said Tom. 'I can go to the river any day. I can't paint a fence very often.'

//hhhhh, 加上一副认真脸, 乍一听蛮有道理

Joe watched Tom for about five minutes. Tom painted very slowly and carefully.

//hh, 做作, 下贱, 无耻

'I'm sorry, Joe. You see, my aunt wants me to do it because I'm good at painting. My brother Sid wanted to paint, too, but she said no.'

//hh, 厚颜无耻

Tom gave Joe the brush. He did not smile, but for the first time that day he was a very happy boy. He sat down and ate Joe's apple.

//憋笑的能力很强大

//Tom 最终把最糟糕的一天变成了最幸福的男孩

More friends came to laugh at Tom, but soon they all wanted to paint, too. By the afternoon Tom had a lot of other exciting things.

//村里的玩具收割机

In the street near the school he met his friend Huckleberry Finn.

//传奇人物 Huckleberry Finn, 后面专门有他的冒险经历

//看过H.F. 的冒险后, 回看Tom Sawyer 才有意思

he was always dirty, and he never had a new shirt. But he was happy.

//现实这么糟糕, 依然可以开心起来

//理想主义者

'At midnight. A dead cat can call ghosts out of their graves.'

//午夜传说

//大人的本意可能是吓退熊孩子: 不要对死猫好奇, 死了就是死了

//没想到遇到了不怕鬼的 Huck 与 Tom

Oh, how beautiful she was! And in two seconds Tom was in love! He must sit next to her. But how?

//怎样坐到班花旁边

'I stopped to talk with Huckleberry Finn!' he said.

//用尽全力斯嚎出在老师眼中的大事

The teacher was very, very angry.Boys were often late for school. That was bad, but talking with Huckleberry Finn was worse, much worse!

//Tom 一句话就可以让老师非常生气

//可以看出这位教师对不上学孩子的讨厌

'Now, Tom Sawyer, you go and sit with the girls!'

//教师: 做得不错呦, 让我当众打你, 过去吧

//Tom: 嘿嘿嘿

Chapter 2

In the graveyard

He waited for Huck's meow, and at eleven o'clock it came.

//meow (喵呜~) 是Huck 的暗号: 在Tom 家楼下学一声猫叫

//听有声书知道的

//Kindle558 国产版, 被减配了: 缺少有声书商店; 没有蓝牙功能;

'Ghosts can see through trees,' said Huck unhappily. 'They can see through everything!'

//Huck 这时候很怕鬼

'Tom! They're not ghosts. That's Muff Potter.'

//Huck 这时候不怕鬼

The doctor wants a dead body, you see. He cuts it up because he wants to learn about —'

//是Huck 自己想要学习一些东西, 所以才会看见别人想学习的意愿

//禅:

应无所住, 而生其心

//心中想什么, 才会看见什么; 心中不想, 则会视而不见

'This is bad, Muff,' said Joe. 'Why did you kill him?'

//马福把乔当朋友, 乔反而倒戈, 令人厌恶的行为

//遇到不喜欢的人, 大多数人的做法是屏蔽朋友圈之类, 这样至少保持了真诚, 真诚有时候就是善良 or 智慧

//有时候会觉得：世上还是坏人多

Do you remember a day five years ago? I came to your house and asked for something to eat. And you gave me nothing. Nothing!

//下杀手的原因

'Don't hit my friend!' cried Muff Potter. He jumped on the doctor and the two men began to fight.

// Muff 是把 Joe 当朋友

'This is bad, Muff,' said Joe. 'Why did you kill him?'

// Joe 没把Muff 当朋友

And there Muff sat for four weeks, and waited for his trial.

// trial n. 审判

'Muff Potter didn't kill the doctor — Injun Joe did. We saw him!'

'I know,' Huck said. 'But what can we do? We can't tell anyone.

//这时候不告诉任何人是最明智的

Chapter 3

On Jackson's Island

At night, when he was in bed, he saw Injun Joe's face in the dark, and he couldn't sleep. But he couldn't talk to anyone about it.

//不过，有时候死人也会有用途，就看人放对地方

'Let's get away from here!' said Tom, suddenly. 'Let's go and do something exciting somewhere.'

'OK,' said Joe. 'But what? And where?'

'I know,' Tom said. 'Let's run away. Let's go and live on Jackson's Island.

//Tom 想去其他地方玩耍转移注意力，为了暂时忘记烦恼

//找小伙伴出去玩的时候要先想好去哪里：

//A：让我们出去玩吧

//B：好，去哪

//A：我也不知道

//B：那你还找我出去（生气离开）

//可能 A 决定找 B 一起出去已经花费了所有的力气，可能 A 想要一起讨论去哪里，总之，A 在这一点上没有 Tom 有智慧，也就是：只有心没有力

//A 花费的力气：决定出去玩（不是学习、做家务），决定找 B （不是找 C）。力气想不到第三层就用光了

Then they cooked some of the meat over the fire, and oh, that meat was good — the best dinner in the world!

// 英文笔记装载准备，发射

//if I write wrong word or grammar, I don't want to know please.

//The children always eat parents lunch. It is very easy to boring. Please buy something sometimes.

Then Huck and Joe woke up, and the three boys ran down to the river to swim. After that, they fished, and soon they had about six big fish for their breakfast.

//It is so fun. To swim, fished, breakfast etc.

The boys watched the boats. Suddenly, Tom cried, 'I know who's dead! It's us! They're looking for us!'

//One human is full of body, the family are not hungry.

'Can we smoke, too?' asked Tom. 'I want to learn.'

So Huck made pipes for Tom and Joe, and the three boys sat and smoked.

//Smoking is just for fun. Life is long, is not it?

But after ten minutes Tom and Joe got quieter and quieter and their faces went an interesting colour.

//Laugh Out Loud

The two boys came back an hour later. But they didn't smoke their pipes again.

//When smoking is not fun, quit.

And little Becky Thatcher did not stop crying for one second.

//Tom's girlfriend is so ture. Poor Becky Thatcher.

And into the church came the three dead boys — Tom first, Joe next, and then Huck.

//walk out with bright light

It was St Petersburg's happiest funeral.

//Could a funeral be happy, in St Peterburg it could be.

Questions, questions, questions. Answers, answers, answers. And the answers were all bad for Muff Potter.

// Muff is just saying truth.

'Thomas Sawyer, where were you on the seventeenth of June, at the hour of midnight?'

'In the graveyard.'

'Why?'

'I went there to see ghosts. With a — a — dead cat.'

// It is a smart answer, but is not a BOY's answer.

Crash! Injun Joe jumped through the window, and was out and away in a second.

// Well, 'one second' is better than 'a second', if I wrote this story.

Chapter 4

Treasure

There is a time in every boy's life when he wants to go and dig for treasure. And that time came for Tom.

// Yes, I used to dig a money bag in my family's old house.

They took the pick and shovel with them, went down the hill

//When a boy understands how to use a tool, he always wants do something.

// Hammer always wants to find a nail.

There were holes in the floor, and through them the boys could see into the rooms downstairs.

// The money is flying to the sky

'Yes,' said Injun Joe. (Happy faces upstairs.) 'No! (Very unhappy faces upstairs.) Let's put it under the cross — nobody goes there. We can take it there tonight.'

// There is no bank but there is the cross.

Chapter 5

In the cave

There were some older children on the boat too, but all the mothers and fathers stayed at home. Picnics are better without them!

And it was a very happy, noisy picnic.

//Parents are not welcome at parties.

The tunnels went up, down, and into the hill for miles. You could walk for days in McDougal's Cave.

// It is so huge Cave: walk for days

Huck Finn saw the boat…He did not go to birthday picnics, of course, because the mothers of St Petersburg did not like him.

// All the mothers did not like Huck, poor boy.

There were hundreds of bats in this room…

Time went by. Was it day, or night? They didn't know.

"Since then sun, moon, and stars can do what they will—I haven’t the faintest notion whether it is day or night. The world around me has vanished."

----The Sorrows of Young Werther. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The hand moved, and Tom saw an arm and a face. It was Injun Joe! Tom was very afraid, but Injun Joe was afraid too, and he quickly ran away down the tunnel.

// What are you doing, Injun Joe.
